THE PASSPORT LAW.

EDITOR BuLLETIS:-The passport
law is indefensible whatever way 1t
is reviewed, and has long ago been
condemned by intelligent public
opinion. If the present Legislature
does not abolish il, with several
other relics of a semi-barbarous and
arbitrary past, ii will hardly deserve
the name of 'Reform. Fl" The pass
port law is means of private OPP
preston and a cause Of national
shame. II this is q free country
why are strangers compulsorily tax
ed to enter it and penalized when
they want to 60 away? And SINH
larly it may be said of residents who
pay their taxes, spend their money,
and in various ways contribute to
the well-being and prosperity of the
country, why should they be taken
by the throat by a Government
official and "stood up" under the
passport law If, for personal reasons,
they find II necessary to go abroadl
1t is also absurd to say that it is any
protection to the creditor class. An
honest man will pay his just debts
if he has the money, and IL he is
without money it cannot help the
creditor TO detain him in the country
where he may be unable to find EN-
ployment. Furthermore, it is pref
ty well understood that the bad
debts on most tradesmen's books
are offset to a very considerable ex-
tent by the price charged in the bills
of those who pay, so that in the long
run the general average of business
loss is not sufficient in itself to JUS
tify the continuance of law which
has made the Hawaiian Kingdom a
by-word among free communities.
